    Quantum Leap

    So, I picked up the season 1 on DVD and have been going through the episodes over the past week or so. I just finished watching "How the Tess Was Won" in which Sam leaps into the body of a veterinarian in 50s Texas and seemingly has to "tame" Tess and marry her in able to leap; however, when the boy starts singing Piggy Suey and Sam suggests to change it to Peggy Sue, he leaps. I'm kind of confused about this. Usually Sam leaps in order to change history, but I don't see any change here. Can somebody offer some insight?

          I know its Buddy Holly, but what I don't understand is why Sam was there.

            Oh ok, He was there to help Buddy. lol I loved that show. This show reminds me a lot of the show Voyagers. With Punky Brewster brother. lol That was a good show too.

              He went back to help Buddy Holly come up with Peggy Sue.

                I like this show as well. A few months ago I started watching the re-runs on UHD.

                  I just thought that Sam leaped into somebody's body in order to change something in history.

                    I think he may have just needed to help that one last thing get accomplished before leaping. I think he did that in a couple other shows too. I could be wrong.

                      Right, but usually he leaps in order to change the future. The future remained the same. The same thing happened in the next episode where the Blackout of 65 happens. I guess he's just aligning it to our timeline, but I always thought Sam leaped to actually change the future.

                        I loved this show. It looks like NBC is ripping it off with a new show called Journeyman.

                          Wasn't Quantum Leap on NBC?

                            Well, he did change the future, just not in the way that you thought he would based on the beginning of the show. He helped Buddy Holly change the name of the song to Peggy Sue instead of Piggy Suey. That was the catch of the whole thing I think. Get everyone thinking that he's got this big marriage thing to help with and then all he was really there for was to help with the song.

                              Yep, even though it does seem little, it did changed the music history and probably helped get it going, if Holly never came along, you don't know what could have happen. I am sure he had some influrence on some other bands. I think that was the point of the show. Great show, and I watch it every week. lol PLus I like Scott B is an actor.
